Posted by Anonymous on 2019/05/28 under Love I have a crush on a friend I've had for a few years now, one that has been through thick and thin with me. She watched as I spiraled into a deep depression and encouraged me to seek help, which I did. She is probably the best person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She's caring and loving, but isn't afraid to put you in your place. Unlike most of my friends, she constantly tries to find music for me to listen to because of my *unique* taste and often asks how I'm feeling when I'm being a bit more quiet than usual. She's close to perfect in my eyes. I'm a very clingy person and crave physical contact with other people, and right now she's the only one who will give it to me. I hug her a lot and she likes to hold my hand sometimes. She always has a really pretty hairstyle at school, like a fancy bun with her bangs pinned back, or a braid down her back, or just a curly poof framing her face. She messes with my hair sometimes when she's bored, and I can't even describe the pride I feel when I tell my other friends why my hair is different from last period. My problem is that she always talks about how we're too young to date yet and she finds it pointless, and sometimes I can't help but agree. I also ruin some things too. I complain about my straight friends making gay jokes or teasing me about being "touchy" with my female friends. I tell her all the time now I hate it when my straight female friends think I'm hitting on them when I'm just being friendly, which in my mind might confuse her when I am actually trying to flirt with her. We've been close friends for awhile, and I've thought about confessing things to her at a sleepover, but if she doesn't feel the same it would be awkward. It's the small things that get me. How she'll snuggle up next to me and steal half my blanket as we watch a movie together at a sleepover or when she'll do her signature karate chop on my shoulder to annoy me. I will forever respect her sexuality and never force anything on her, but I can't help feeling this way. I would love to be closer, but I'm completely content with just staying friends. I just don't know how to deal with these feelings.

well maybe you should tell her, and whatever she decides respect it. from what ive read off this post it sounds like you two share a deep personal bond and i don’t think that if you were to tell her she would stop hanging out with you, as for awkwardness? well theres real no way around that one if she says no other than just letting it chill for a while but if you really like her then tell her thats the only way you will know otherwise ittl eat you up
